fiTT^n:. DEC] riAL I ear op the society sons op the 
VI REVOLUTION, IN THE STATE OP CALIFORNIA, COM- 
^■^ MENCES WITH A MEMBERSHIP, NOT LARGE IN NUMBERS, 
BUT STRONGLY UNITED, AND WITH AN ENTHUSIASTIC LOYALTY 
TO THE PRINCIPLES WHICH HAVE WELDED INTO ONE HOMO- 
GENEOUS ORGANIZATION THE BEST BLOOD AND THE MOST 
CATHOLIC REPRESENTATIVE ELEMENT OP THIRTY-TWO STATES 
OP OUR LAND. 

THE ENVIRONMENT OP OUR HOMES HAS NO ASSOCIATIONS 
CONNECTED WITH THAT GREAT STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM AND 
JUSTICE, FOR THE PACIFIC COAST WAS AN ALMOST UNKNOWN 
SHORE WHEN THE EMBATTLED FARMERS OF CONCORD 
" Fired the shot heard around the world;'* 

AND WHEN THOSE SIX GENTLEMEN, WHO FOUNDED THIS 
SOCIETY CAME TOGETHER AT LOS ANGELES ON THE EIGHTH DAY 
OF MAY, 1893, TO DISCUSS THE FEASIBILITY OF SUCH AN OR- 
GANIZATION IN CALIFORNIA, ITS INSTITUTION WAS CONSUM- 
MATED WITH GRAVE DOUBTS THAT THE TIME WAS RIPE FOR 
SUCH ACTION. HAPPILY THESE FEARS WERE GROUNDLESS, AND 
THE RECORD OF THE INCORPORATION ON MAY FIFTEENTH, 
BROUGHT TO OUR MEMBERSHIP GENTLEMEN RESIDING IN DIF- 
FERENT SECTIONS OF THE STATE AND IN ARIZONA, WHO KNEW 
OF THE EASTERN SOCIETIES, BUT WHO HAD NO INCENTIVE TO 
CONNECT THEMSELVES WITH ASSOCIATIONS SO DISTANT FROM 
THEIR HOMES, AND IN WHOSE DELIBERATIONS THEY COULD 
TAKE NO PART. 



IN A GREAT NATIONAL SOCIETY, ESTABLISHED AND CON- 
TROLLED BY REGULATIONS VERY SIMILAR TO THE GOVERN- 
MENT OF THE UNITED STATES, IT IS NOT AN EASY MATTER TO 
BRING INTO HARMONIOUS WORKING THE CONFLICTING SENTI- 
MENTS PREVAILING IN THE INDEPENDENT STATE JURISDIC- 
TIONS, AND WE MET WITH DIFFICULTIES, AND AT TIMES BECAME 
ALMOST DISCOURAGED IN THE ATTEMPT TO BUILD A STABLE 
FOUNDATION ON THE PACIFC COAST. 

WE WERE UNABLE TO CONSULT WITH THE EXPERIENCE 
THAT HAD LED TO SUCCESS IN THE ATLANTIC STATES, FOR 
OUR ATTEMPT WAS THE FIRST ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE. AND 
ONLY ONE SOCIETY— COLORADO — HAD BEEN ORGANIZED WEST 
OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER; BUT CONSULTING THE NECESSITIES 
OF OUR OWN SURROUNDINGS, AND CONFORMING TO THE CONSTI- 
TUTION OF THE GENERAL SOCIETY, A CODE OF LAWS FOR OUR 
GOVERNMENT WAS EVOLVED, WHICH, WITH BUT THREE AMEND- 
MENTS, HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TEN YEARS. 

WHAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IS PARTIALLY TOLD IN 
OUR REGISTER OF LAST YEAR. BUT THIS HAD BEEN IMPOSSIBLE 
WITHOUT THE FAITHFUL CO-OPERATION OF OUR ACCOMPLISHED 
SECRETARY, OUR CAREFUL TREASURER, THE INDUSTRIOUS REG- 
ISTAR AND THE GENIAL AND WATCHFUL VICE-PRESIDENT, 
WHO, WITH THE PRESIDENT HAVE CONSTITUTED THE BOARD 
OF DIRECTORS. 

THAT OUR LABORS HAVE NOT BEEN WITHOUT RECOG- 
NITION. APPEARS FROM THE REPORT OF MR. HENRY 
WALBRIDGE DUDLEY, THE GENERAL HISTORIAN, MADE AT THE 
TRIENNIAL MEETING AT WASHINGTON. I). C, ON APRIL 19, 1902, 
IN WHICH HE SAYS: 

"CALIFORNIA." 

"THE SOCIETY WAS INSTITUTED MAY S, 1893, AT LOS 
ANGELES, AND INCORPORATED MAY 15. 1893, SINCE WHICH TIME 
IT HAS DONE ITS FULL SHARE IN PROMOTING THE OBJECTS OF 
OUR ORGANIZATION. IN PROPORTION TO ITS MEMBERSHIP, 
PROBABLY NO OTHER SOCIETY HAS CONTRIBUTED SO LARGELY 
TO THE SERVICE OF THE ARMY AND NAVY OF THE UNITED 
STATES, WHILE A LARGE NUMBER OF ITS MEMBERS HAVE ALSO 
OCCUPIED IMPORTANT POSITIONS IN CIVIL LIFE. THE RECORD 
MADE UP IN DETAIL BY THE HISTORIAN OF THE SOCIETY, 
IS ONE OF GREAT INTEREST, GIVING, AS IT DOES, AMONG OTHER 
THINGS, THE NAMES OF ELEVEN OF ITS MEMBERS WHO SERVED 
IN THE SPANISH- AMERICAN WAR. IT ALSO FURNISHES THE 
AVOCATIONS OF THE ENTIRE MEMBERSHIP OF THE SOCIETY, 
MAKING A RECORD OF WHICH ANY SOCIETY MIGHT BE PROUD." 

OUR VOICE IS HEARD. AND OUR VOTE IS ALWAYS CAST AT 
THE MEETINGS OF THE GENERAL SOCIETY, FOR IT IS OUR GOOD 
FORTUNE TO HAVE AS A LIFE MEMBER, MR. JAMES MORTIMER 
MONTGOMERY, WHO RESIDES IN NEW YORK CITY, AND WHO IS 



ABLE TO BE PRESENT AT THOSE GATHERINGS. WE NEVER WEARY 
OF MANIFESTING OUR OBLIGATIONS TO MR. MONTGOMERY FOR 
HIS MANY ACTS OF KINDNESS TO HIS WESTERN SOCIETY, AND 
IT HAS BEEN OUR CONSTANT POLICY TO RETAIN HIM AS ONE 
OF OUR DELEGATES. 

THE ATTENTION OF OUR MEMBERS HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY 
CALLED TO THE MANY BEAUTIFUL AND APPROPRIATE STATUES, 
MONUMENTS AND TABLETS ERECTED BY THE COLONIAL STATES 
IN PLACES MEMORABLE FOR HEROIC DEEDS DURING THE REVO- 
LUTION, AND IT HAS BEEN THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS NO 
FIELD FOR ANY ACTION IN THIS LINE BY THE CALIFORNIA 
SOCIETY; BUT ON THE DAY OF OUR LAST ANNUAL MEETING, ONE 
OF OUR GENTLEMEN, WHOSE PUBLIC SPIRIT IS SURPASSED ONLY 
BY HIS GENEROSITY, OFFERED TO BEAR THE EXPENSE OF A 
TABLET, OR OTHER DESIGNATION. TO COMMEMORATE SOME 
EVENT OF THE REVOLUTION, IF THE SOCIETY WILL TAKE 
CHARGE OF THE AFFAIR, AND SECURE FROM OUR LOCAL 
AUTHORITIES A SUITABLE LOCATION FOR ITS ERECTION. A 

MEETING WILL BE CALLED AT AN EARLY DAY TO DISCUSS THE 
PROPOSITION. 

IT HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY SUGGESTED THAT AN EFFORT 
BE MADE TO PURCHASE A LOT IN LOS ANGELES UPON WHICH 
THE SOCIETY MAY ERECT ITS OWN BUILDING, WHICH WILL 
GIVE US A PERMANENT HOME, AND IN WHICH CAN BE DEPOSITED 
ITS VALUABLE LIBRARY AND RAPIDLY' ACCUMULATING COLLEC- 
TION OF SOUVENIRS. THIS HAS BEEN DONE BY SEVERAL OF 
THE WEALTHY EASTERN SOCIETIES, THROUGH THE GENEROUS 
CONTRIBUTIONS OF INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS, BUT OUR SMALL 
NUMBER AND OUR LIMITED INCOME HAVE NOT PRESENTED TO 
THE DIRECTORS ANY ENCOURAGEMENT THAT SUCH A PROJECT 
CAN BE CARRIED OUT AT THIS TIME. 

AGAIN ARE OUR HEARTS FILLED WITH SORROW FOR A 
LOST COMRADE. 

ORRIN ZEIGLER HUBBELL, A MAN OF BRILLIANT INTEL- 
LECTUAL ATTAINMENTS, A MEMBER OF THE SENATE OF 
CALIFORNIA, AND HELD IN AFFECTIONATE ESTEEM BY US ALL, 
DIED AT HIS HOME IN ONTARIO, ON APRIL SEVENTEENTH, lfln::. 
UPON ANOTHER PAGE WILL BE FOUND THE MEMORIAL ADOPTED 
BY THIS SOCIETY. 

IN A RETROSPECT OF TEN YEARS, WHEN THERE PASS 
BEFORE US, OUR MANY SOLICITOUS DISCUSSIONS OF WAYS AND 
MEANS, THE PERSONAL SACRIFICES AND DEVOTION OF MEMBERS 
IN THEIR LABOR OF LOVE, WHICH HAS GIVEN OUR SOCIETY, 
THROUGHOUT THIS GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF CALIFORNIA A 
RECOGNIZED POSITION FOR DISINTERESTED PATRIOTISM AND 
UNFAILING LOYALTY, AND CAUSED OUR VOICE TO BE HEARD 
WITH ATTENTION AND RESPECT IN THE COUNCILS OF THE 
GENERAL SOCIETY, MAY WE NOT ANTICIPATE A FUTURE, WHEN 
OUR CHILDREN, IN THIS BEAUTIFUL LAND OF THE ORANGE, THE 
VINE, THE FIG AND THE MOCKING BIRD, WILL TAKE UP THE 



WORK AS IT SHALL FALL FROM US, AND, WITH STRENUOUS 
ZEAL, 1"' THEIR PART TO PERPETUATE THOSE GREAT, ETERNAL 
PRINCIPLES OF LIBERTY, JUSTICE AND PATRIOTISM, THE 
HERITAGE FROM OUR FATHERS, WHICH HAVE MADE THIS LAND 
THE HAPPIEST ON EARTH.

WHEREAS, THE HONORABLE ORRIN ZEIGLER HUBBELL, A 
VALUED MEMBER OF THIS SOCIETY. ENTERED INTO REST ON 
THE SEVENTEENTH DAY OF APRIL, 1003. AT HIS HOME IN 
ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT 

RESOLVED, BY THE CALIFORNIA SOCIETY SONS OF -THE 
REVOLUTION, THIS EIGHTEENTH DAY OF APRIL. 1903. 

THAT HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF MIND AND MANNER, 
REFLECTED IN A DELIGHTFUL PERSONALITY AND UNIFORM 
COURTESY, MADE HIS PRESENCE AS A GUEST, AND HIS HOSPI- 
TALITY AS A HOST SOMETHING TO BE RECALLED WITH 
PLEASURE BY ALL WHO CAME INTO SUCH RELATION WITH 
HIM; 

THAT HIS CARE AND DISCERNMENT AS A FINANCIER, 
MADE HIS LOSS DEEPLY FELT AND HIS PLACE MOST DIFFICULT 
TO FILL BY HIS ASSOCIATES IN BUSINESS; 

THAT AS A LAWYER, HIS TALENTS AND CHARACTER NOT 
ONLY ADORNED THE PROFESSION W T HICH HE ADOPTED, BUT 
ENGENDERED A LASTING RESPECT IN ALL WITH WHOM HIS 
CALLING BROUGHT HIM IN CONTACT; 

THAT HIS ENERGY AND SUCCESS IN POLITICAL LIFE, WERE 
DUE TO A MOST EXALTED CONCEPTION OF STATESMANSHIP, 
WHICH MADE HIM INTENSELY DEVOTED TO THE SERVICE OF 
THE PEOPLE; THAT TO STRENGTH OP MIND AND CHARACTER 
WERE UNITED THE WEAPONS AND EMBELLISHMENTS OF A 
BRILLIANT AND CONVINCING ELOQUENCE; 

THAT HIS POWERS OF ARGUMENT WERE DUE TO PRO- 
FOUND STUDIES OF THE HISTORY' OF HUMANITY AND OF HIS 
COUNTRY, AND CAREFUL ANALYSES OF THE CONDITIONS OF HIS 
OWN TIMES, ENLIVENED BY THE LIFE AND GRACE OF POETIC 
TEMPERAMENT; 

THAT IN THE SHORT PERIOD OF HIS PUBLIC LIFE IN 
CALIFORNIA HE HAS LEFT A RECORD OF GREAT GOOD DONE 
FOR THE PEOPLE OF HIS SENATORIAL DISTRICT AND OF THE 
STATE, AND WORTHILY REPRESENTED AND CONTINUED THE 
WORK OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ANCESTORS FROM WHOM HE 
SPRUNG; AND BE IT FURTHER 

RESOLVED, THAT THE SINCERE SYMPATHY AND CONDO- 
LENCE OF THE MEMBERS OF THIS SOCIETY ARE EXTENDED TO 
THE BEREAVED FAMILY OF OUR DECEASED ASSOCIATE. AND 
THAT AN ENGROSSED COPY OF THESE RESOLUTIONS BE 
PRESENTED TO THEM.
